I'm a software engineer who recently got his hands on a Razer Blackwidow Chroma keyboard yesterday and am throwing around ideas about an in-game addon that can control the lighting effects. Using the Chroma SDK I will be able to control all the lighting effects quite happily, but if I can link that up to a WoW addon I'd be able to set effects in game based on various things.
My current ideas are:
Static key lights for abilities, taking colours from the icons
Waves/ripples linked to DBM and similar addons that time themselves to boss/trash mechanics (would probably need contact with those addon devs)
If anyone has other ideas it'd be really cool to hear those! I will likely develop the addon starting at the coming weekend unless I can sort out my car problems this evening and get my evenings after work free. Dc vs marvel game.

Razer Chroma Wow Addon Mod
Razer Chroma Wow Addon Build
If you have a Razer Chroma device, did you use this new feature? - Yes Did you like the alliance-specific themes? - No Do you have any other general feedback? - Yes There is a reason for using different colors for specific keys: there are loads of keybindings, using AddOns will exceed this further. So it makes sense to use exclusive colors for less frequently used keys to help you remind whether your CraftStore was bind to Num-4 or ]. Ok, for this I could disable the ESO Chroma App and use my own setup. However, building my own setup means, I cannot react to game specific states, like you already implement it with the alliance color or switching to red when I die. So IF you want to support Chroma, why don't you support it in a way that would make sense? First of all: make it user configurable. This could be easy done with a simple text file with all supported states and keys and a predefined RGB date that could be edited. I think there are not that many users to create an ingame setup menu for that. And everybody who is interested in that will find out, how it works and what has to be done. This would result in a combination of what you've already implemented and what could be done with the Synapse tool. (cool would be: I define a profile with the Synapse tool and you read it and combine it with your game specific states) Last but not least: add more features. There is a lot that could make sense. Just some ideas. - Instead of switching to red when I'm dead (what I should have already noticed before I notice my red keyboard) start fading red (green, blue) when my life (stamina, magicka) runs out, resulting in a high frequent flashing when it's REALLY time to have a drink. A high frequent flashing should be noticed even that I'm not looking at my keyboard while playing, especially when playing at night. - You could run an effect when entering a specific state, e.g. do the rainbow when entering a fight or during a loading screen. Makes no sense, but looks cool. - You could change the color or animation when switching to the crown shop or any other game menu, highlighting the keys that are useful in that situation. Or react on a pressed key, e.g. with an explosion animation around the key when opening a crown crate
